The incident marked the second homicide in the city within a week and followed an incident Friday night in Bridgeton in which a woman was grazed by a bullet while inside her city home.

In the latest murder, shortly after 11 p.m. Saturday police responded to reports of shots fired in the area of Bank Street and found the victim lying in the roadway, according to Bridgeton Police Capt. Michael Gaimari.

He said the victim had suffered "more than one" gunshot and was pronounced dead on scene by responding emergency personnel.

Police did not release the man's name Sunday because they still needed to positively identify the victim and notify his next of kin, they said.

Gaimari said Sunday that evidence gathered by investigators at the scene suggests that the victim may have been traveling with his killer or killers.

Witnesses stated that the victim was seen exiting a vehicle, described as a dark, four-door sedan, which had stopped in the northbound lane on Bank Street. At least one other person also exited the car and fired several shots. The suspect or suspects then returned to the vehicle and fled the scene.

Gaimari said this latest latest killing does not appear to be related to any of the spate of shootings in the city last week.

The North Street killing remains unsolved, but an arrest has been made in the Wednesday incident in which police were fired on.

Just one night prior to the latest murder, on Friday, Dayshia Jamison, 18, of the 300 block of Spruce Street, was grazed by a bullet fired into her home during a drive-by shooting, authorities said. She was treated at an area hospital and later released.

Police were able to locate the vehicle they suspect was involved in the Spruce Street shooting near an abandoned Lawrence Street residence while responding to a report of shots fired in that area, Gaimari said.

After an intensive search of the area police found Erikeen Lewis, 23, of Oak Street, Bridgeton, hiding in a wooded area between Commerce Street and Lake Street.

Lewis was charged with obstruction and resisting arrest after he tried to elude officers, but has not been charged in connection with the Spruce Street shooting, according to authorities. He is being held in the Cumberland County Jail, Bridgeton, on $10,000 cash bail.

Police have not ruled out a connection between the North Street murder and the Spruce Street drive-by shooting. The probe into those incidents continues.

Investigators from the Cumberland County Prosecutor's Office are assisting in the probe.

"Officers and detectives have been diligent in working several cases this week and have made extensive progress in each investigation, but we are only as good as the community we serve and need their support and information to bring these matters to a successful conclusion," Gaimari said Sunday.

"It is not just important, it is imperative!," according to Gaimari. "There is a small percentage of individuals within the city causing a large percentage of the violent crime and it's everyone's responsibility to be a part of the solution."
